Thank you all. I will recommend that Rob join the mailing list. I’m on Mac, but I got a 1-month VMware Fusion copy and a Windows 10 freebie (yes, they do exist), and I tried it myself. Sure enough, I installed and ran the program without a problem.
My next step is to walk him through an install using the screen share facility of hangouts. We’ll see how that goes.
